Craft ladies, how do you find time to finish your projects?
I'm just curious. I love to work on crafts, but working, cleaning house, laundry, and going to the gym seem to squeeze out all of my time.
Do you devote a little special time each day? Or devote one weekend a month, etc... to crafts...
I'd love some tips to be able to finish the sewing, quilting, cross-stitch, crocheting, and now scrapbook projects that are piling up.....

Re: Craft ladies, how do you find time to finish your projects?
I find I don't have enough time to work on projects too often. As a result, most of them have been pushed to the backround except for scrapbooking. I used to take a weekly class at a local HS and have gone to a few crops that are several hours long - that's when I get work done.
I keep trying to find time but I don't know where it's going to come from.

I dont do laundry, house cleaning of cooking...thats how I do all my projects!!
Actually, I give myself a time frame to do this stuff. I usually try and do the housework dring the week...at night...then can work on my crafts during the weekend!!

I have found that 'crops' work really well for - maybe its just the excuse to get out and coincentrate, but whien I do it at home, I usually decide I 'need'something I don't have

Re: Craft ladies, how do you find time to finish your projects?
i do most of my crafting in front of the TV at night. not only do i get stuff done, but it prevents me from snacking all night, as i don't want to get my hands dirty. also - i don't hesitate on a snowy weekend, to spend the day in, sewing. if housework HAS to get done - i set the timer - 30 minutes crafts, 30 minutes housework. it works pretty well!!

TV time and using a timer are really good ideas. Thanks for all the tips!

I really don't....I've been working on my wedding scrapbook since last Spring!
It also doesn't help me that I don't have my own crafts room - so every time I want to work on it I have to pull everything out which is really annoying.
I try and work on it every few weeks - I got a lot done on my vacation over Christmas.
For the smaller projects, I'd find time to do them over the weekends
